In 2015, Germany accounted for the largest share of this regional market.

Initially, advanced wound care was used for management of wounds when standard wound care methods failed. However, currently, advanced wound care is being used as a first-line therapy. Owing to this, it is expected that advanced wound care will cannibalize a part of the share of the traditional wound care market. Advanced wound care involves intervention therapies through the use of collagen products, antimicrobial dressings, foam dressings, gauzes, hydrocolloids, film dressings, hydrogels, composites, and alginate dressings, among other products.

Based on type, the Europe advanced wound care market is classified into dressings and active wound care. The dressings method includes foam dressings, hydrocolloids, hydrofiber, film dressings, alginates, collagen, hydrogels, wound contact layers, and superabsorbent dressings. The active wound care segment is further classified into three categories, namely, growth factors, biologic grafts, and composite skin grafts. A skin graft is a patch of skin that is removed through surgery from one area of the body and transplanted or attached to another area of the body.

Europe is the second-largest market in the global advanced wound care market, after North America. Factors, such as rising incidences of diabetes, technological advancements, and favorable government initiatives drive the market in Europe.

Taking into account the demand and usage of wound care products, government bodies across the globe have increased their support for the wound care market. Government organizations are extending their help in the form of investments, funds, and grants. The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) also aims to promote best practices in wound management. It aims to advocate for the rights of people with wounds, so that they receive the best possible care in a timely manner.

Wound management can be a complex treatment area, with chronic wounds, acute wounds, and surgical wounds each having their own characteristics. Wounds, much like the people affected by them, need to be treated on an individual basis. Chronic wounds are generally associated with an aging population, with pressure sores, venous leg ulcers, and diabetic foot ulcers being typical examples. Healing chronic wounds can be a challenging task as these wounds often produce high amounts of exudate and are frequently exposed to the risk of infection.
